Resolved Switching from iPhone to Android

the gs3 will be a beast i have the nexus but after a month i sold it the gs2 it's better than the nexus the only pretty thing of the nexus it's the design and pure ICS

You are in the Europe, so you'll have to wait much less for the GS3 than us stateside. I would wait, if that's what you want, which it sounds like it is.

When you say Galaxy S2 you have to remember there's a couple different models, I have the AT&T I777 version which is a 4.3" screen and has the Exynos processor which is better then the snapdragon both in performance and efficiency. I've always had iPhones, but love this phone, even over our 4S which I just jailbroke for the gf.

But I don't know when the GS3 will be available and in how many different versions (like the GS2 is). Rumor is March will have more facts released about it, but as far as U.S. carriers getting it no idea. The Galaxy S2 was released in May but different countries got it at different times, AT&T didn't release their version here till November 11'.

S3 will definitely kick ass so I'd say wait to see what happens with that, but then it depends on how long you want to wait, and for which carrier etc. I played with the Nexus, and it was fine, but preferred the i777 S2. Not worried about OS's as it's too easy to root and flash custom Rom's for these phones, and the Galaxy line has the best support.

I'm hoping AT&T does the same thing and keeps a 4.3" screen as the phone is a great size, not big nor small. S3 is supposed to have a 4.6" screen, but I'd rather stay at 4.3" with the form factor of the S2. Rumor has it launching sometime between May-July, so you being in Europe will pry get it around that time... we in the state's will have to wait longer.

edit - btw, with you being in Ireland, my family is friends with the Guinness fam (beer, last time we were there we hung out at Desmonds castle lol)

First off, here we go again lol!

Please follow this advice. You are on an Apple rumors website and you post a poll which doesn't even mention Apple? I think you completely missed the point of this entire website.

Uh, I'll take "None of the above" Alex for $500.

I agree, or visit the XDA board. If your not used to Android, you may not like it. Took me a day or so to go through and start setting it up how I wanted. There's so much you can do with it stock, not even rooted/rom'd.

Best bet is to go to a store and try it out and see what you like, you may end up deciding the iPhone is still better for you.

Wait for the S3. If it is announced close to the next gen iPhone, you can also add that to your options.

With Mobile World Congress starting this weekend, there may be something that catches your eye there.
